1: Carbon in the Air: What does the graph of atmospheric Carbon Dioxide tell us?
There has been a growing amount of carbon in the air over the the years.
2: pH Scale: Where do some common items fall on the pH scale? Take a screen shot of your final answers and paste below:
Battery acid, soda, and orange juice are the most acidic. Drinking water and ocean water are neutral. Ammonia, bleach, and drain clearners are most basic.

3: Ocean pH: How might it change? A change from 8.2 to 8.1 on the pH scale is a 30 % increase in acidity.
4: Carbon in the Water: Explain what happens to Carbon in ocean water.
CO2 in water turns into carbonic acid. With the amount of hydrogen ions higher in the ocean, the acidity increases. It turns to bicarbonate. Futhermore it turns to carbonate. Combined with calcium it turns to calcium carbonate.
5: Exploring Carbon Levels and Effects: Look over the interactive and describe what happens
at each of the levels:
Scenario 1: Optimistic - The amount of carbon will grow at same pace it has been growing.
Scenario 2: Middle Ground - Amount of carbon will a little more faster than usual.
Scenario 3: Pessimistic - Amount of carbon will grow at a rapid pace.
6: Diversity of Life in the Sea: Sort each of the organisms into Calcifiers or Non- Calcifiers:
